Our Ready To Read Skill is: Narrative Skills (Storytelling)
Narrative Skills means being able to describe things and events and tell stories. Working on this skill will help your child understand what they are reading as they get older and move to more advanced books, because they will be able to recognize that stories have a beginning, middle, and end. Ways to improve Narrative Skills include telling your child are doing throughout the day, listening to them and asking questions, and encouraging them to tell stories. Another way to practice Narrative Skills is to take a favorite book and tell it or act it out in a different way like we did this week when we used puppets and props to tell Sitting in My Box and The Surprise.
